The agency answers to this and related questions are expected to cover all expenditures including day to day costs such as system maintenance and licence fees. Across all agencies expenditure would have been in excess of $10m per annum more if the shared services model was not being introduced.
Estimates Committee Supplementary Information Question 42 was recently answered and had a much narrower focus in that it asked for the names and numbers of departments that did not comply with the directive by the Director General DPC as to the need for agencies to consider deferring any decision to upgrade or replace corporate service systems. Hence, the figures in the two sets of answers cannot be directly compared.
Office of Crime Prevention
For the period from 1 January 2003 to date finance, payroll and human resources systems functions for the Office of Crime Prevention have been carried out by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet or the WA Police. The reports from those agencies for the periods listed in (a) to (i) above will be inclusive of the Office of Crime Prevention. DPC will cover 1 January 2003 to 30 June 2006 and WA Police will cover from 1 July 2006.
Office of Road Safety
The Office of Road Safety is part of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) for all administrative issues.
As such, the Office of Road Safety's response to this question will be included as part of the DPC response.
